Hi guys,
I have three questions for you learned bricksters today, re: my '89 760 Turbo wagon.
First, the headlights and grille-side fogs on this recently-acquired awesome wagon look grimy on the inside (I will highly polish the outside of the plastic lenses later). I would like to take them off and toss them in the dishwasher. In a preliminary looksee in the driveway last night, I could not easily see how the headlight/foglight assemblies are removed. I considered the Really Big Screwdriver, but came to think that that would have been short-sighted ; ). Anybody know how??
Second, I have a problem with the tailgate electrics. It started as an intermittent problem with the third brake light. The dashboard warning light would come on, once again intermittently, telling me that the thrid brake light was misfunctioning. Yesterday, on a wet and drizzly day here in Toronto, the electrics went Wacko. The rear defog switch would light up the third brakelight, the brakes would not light the third brake light, the wiper stopped working altogether. This morning in the dry it is all back to normal. It sounds like a ground problem, maybe, but where? I removed the panel above and inside the back door, and the wiring there, and all around the hinge all looks good. Is there a central ground or something within the door itself?
Finally, and less pressing: anybody know where to find a really nice, good quality, decent-fitting set of seat covers for the front seats of this car? The leathers are tan coloured, and looking pretty tired. I may try to thoroughly clean the seats, including the blackened wrinkles and creases, but am also considering some nicer seatcovers.
Thanks in advance,
RF
